This paper provides a comprehensive discussion of the market value of variable renewable
energy (VRE). The inherent variability of wind speeds and solar radiation affects the price …

LCOE (levelized costs of electricity) are a common metric for comparing power generating
technologies. However, there is criticism particularly towards evaluating variable …

Vehicle-to-grid power (V2G) uses electric-drive vehicles (battery, fuel cell, or hybrid) to
provide power for specific electric markets. This article examines the systems and processes …

This is Part II of two papers evaluating the feasibility of providing all energy for all purposes
(electric power, transportation, and heating/cooling), everywhere in the world, from wind …

Unlike markets for storable commodities, electricity markets depend on the real-time balance
of supply and demand. Although much of the present-day grid operates effectively without …

This paper examines the value of concentrating solar power (CSP) and thermal energy
storage (TES) in a number of regions in the southwestern United States. Our analysis shows …

A stochastic mixed integer linear optimization scheduling model minimizing system
operation costs and treating load and wind power production as stochastic inputs is …
